After I read the rate your students link, I sat back for a minute and granted myself instant justification for the way I behaved all through my grade, middle, and some high school years. See, I was always the student to question, ridicule, and sometimes embarass instructors, and it was because I realized from a young age that teachers are just like my friends and I. They to gossip, judge, offend, and screw people over just the way we do. I always personally felt that teachers would judge me because of the clothes I wore, the sports I played, and even the way I spoke. Now I am not saying I was misfortunate, but I grew up in an enviroment were all these things were greatly esteemed, and saw how harsh it was for those less fortunate than me, and it bothered me alot. One may say that I displayed a complete lack of respect, and that wouldn't be a wrong assumption, but I truly felt that teachers had a responsibilty to protect and help us, but that just wasn't what I saw first hand. I saw teachers totally ignore certain kids just because they didn't meet the status que, and I recognized the "selective teaching". I genuinely felt a biased toward all teachers, because I assumed them to all be the same way. However, as I have gotten older, and have more life experience, and I realize that there are some things that are naturally not meant to be faught against. Also, I comprehend and understand now alot of things that I never gave the consideration to analyze then. In the end, I think it is a good idea for instructors to have a place to rant and rave about pain in the ASS students like I once was. I know I would want some place to go if I was a teacher, and you can't blame them. After all, they are just like you and me.
